Like that there is a process and that the feelings students may be experiencing accompany each step. As a librarian, I think knowing where students may be experiencing uncomfortable feelings that inhibit their research process, helps me to help them.

experiences.
I see this process as maleable to a variety of uses. (Choosing a pet, career to research, science project, etc.)

Like that there are simple steps with clarification for each. This would help students who are unclear about what each step is meant to achieve.
I see this one as being the most limited in uses because I think it would be great to give students a solid framework for a research assignment, but I could easily see students not finding it applicable to real life scenarios. ( I suppose that could be something to prove in this assignment.)

I also like that Big 6 can be adapted to the needs of students of different abilities.
